Never felt like I wanted or needed anything more from the kindest most helpful friendly Resort staff in all of my travels! Antonia & James thank all of you for a wonderful experience at Lux
Deborah Robbins
Great food, and excellent service on of the most beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean.
Since the property is larger than most, it has several restaurant options. (I don't think I would like to spend a week or more with only 2-3 restaurant options)
Shane
Everything about this place is unbelievable. Staff food management all exceptional. We were here on honeymoon loved it. Thank you 😊
Shines
Cafe Coconut Divine is so delicious. I recommend it!
But Kimchi is a traditional Korean food. Korean kimchi is introduced as Chinese. I am so disappointed.
I hope that these errors will be corrected in places where people from many countries visit.
Other than that, the natural scenery is very nice.
Akash Dhabe
Fantastic location. Rooms were clean, food was tasty and chiefs were awesome.
The service was a hit or miss. Great service was provided by Ahmed at Water villa, Anfaal at romatic pool villa, Zeid at Beach Rougue, Muaaviz and Nisaaka @ East Market
Poor service/response from many staff members such as Saeed at Beach Rougue, Aahmed at Lagoon Pool Bar, Inaan at the reception.
The bad service experience ruined the experience somewhat after spending so much on an all inclusive package.
